With nowhere to run or to hide

Happiness you’ll see is borrowed

All I want is you by my side

Chorus:

Gentle River….take me away

To the time of happier days

All I need is love and company

Gentle river, bring her back to me

You can spend all your time a cryin

Listen here I don’t need your sympathy

Cause I’ve made my life to live it

All I need is you here with me

Chorus: Gentle river…

sung once and repeat last line…end
